last night.......I went to the Jacksonville Veteran's Memorial Arena to go seeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

the Trans Siberian Orchestra 8D



BEST.........CHRISTMAS...........CONCERT............EVER...........

seriously.....I went expecting to hear a pretty little tune played on the piano...............oooooohhh hell no.......this was like....so awesomely awesome that there are no words awesome enough to describe its awesomness.

After the first song was over, my jaw had dropped through the floor I was so blown away. And they kept on impressing me. After it was over, the only competent reaction I could get out of my mouth was, pardon my French, "..........holy.............shit............"

I mean come on, where else can you see guys with long hair in tailcoats, rocking out on guitars with FIRE....yes fire..... shooting up behind them.............and it was blue fire by the way....and green, and red, and orange.

I have to quote the guy who sat behind me, he described it best, "How do we tell our friends that we went to go listen to some Christmas music, but then a rock concert broke out?!"

And I know that some of you will be like....trans siberi-what?.........that was the most common reaction I got, which saddens me.............so I want to share the awesome with you all, so here is a video of one of the songs performed in the arena I was in, in fact, I was in the section to the left of the person filming, I j\had a perfect view of the side of the stage. And the song in this video does not do the live performance justice, the later songs in the show were better, but it is a video recording, and the only one I could find:

I love this orchestra <3 they make Christmas music kick so much butt..............if you ever get the chance to go see them live, I strongly encourage you to go see it, I really, seriously do. It is a wonderful experience that you will never forget, this group just puts you into the spirit like nothing else can, and it is just fun overall.
